The A-F Area Educational Foundation Proudly Presents
Alive Again:
A Tribute to Chicago
Wisconsin tribute group opens another season of exciting entertainment in the
A-F Fine Arts Center.
Alive Again: A Tribute to the legendary band Chicago, will open the Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center season on Saturday, September 21 at 7:00 PM. Comprised of eleven of the Midwest’s finest musicians, they share one common passion: keeping the music of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy Award winning band “Alive” and promise to fill the A-F FAC with the big sounds of one of the most successful American bands in Recording Industry Association of America and Billboard history.
Based out of the Green Bay area, Alive Again members’ music backgrounds include college and high school music educators and clinicians, national jazz and Broadway production tours, big bands, studio musicians for dozens of professional recordings, and performances with artists like Bobby Vinton, The Diamonds, and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. Alive Again has made the commitment to keeping the sound, instrumentation, presentation, and the spirit of Chicago alive. From the classic piano riffs to their evolution from gritty grooves to power ballads, from the passionate vocals to thrashing guitar solos with a tight three-piece horn section to top it all off, Alive Again will take you on a memorable trip down memory lane and have you singing every song along all the way!
The band will be playing everything from early Chicago classics like "25 or 6 to 4" all the way through hits like “Saturday in the Park,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “Dialogue (Part I and II),” and “Questions 67 and 68”. Alive Again often opens shows with “Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon,” the 14-minute musical suite from Chicago’s 1970 album that features seven songs and begins with "Make Me Smile" which inspired the theme for this season’s Fine Arts Center season.
Tickets for this exciting season opener are $32 for adults and $12 for 18 and under (all fees included). They can be purchased online at afasd.tix.com, by phone at 608-339-3921 ext 1161, at A-F County Market, and at the A-F Fine Arts Center box office on Wednesday September 11 and 18 from 11:00 to 1:00. Season tickets are still available through September 21. More information is available at afedfoundation.org.
The Adams-Friendship Area Educational Foundation and the A-F Fine Arts Center, along with featured sponsor Wisconsin 106-FM are thrilled to be able to bring this outstanding and in-demand Wisconsin group to our community. Don’t miss this exciting event as Alive Again salutes the self-described “rock and roll band with horns,” Chicago. It might not be “Saturday in the Park” but it is sure to be a great Saturday night in the Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center!
